Oly has made the decision to obsolete the DSLR E series in favor of the new mirrorless technology.

The OM E5 is on sale for $900 body only and the M1 is $1400 body only. Too bad I can't justify the cost of either one.

1. I read about it earlier this week

It's so almost there but the 30fps only is a no sale for me.

3. The EM-1 is for the still photographer. Something like the Panny GH3 would be

a better choice for movies.


The GX7 looks like a real winner for Panasonic.

4. Probably the best choice for movies under a grand is

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera

5. If you have a Micro 4/3, you can use your lenses on the Black Magic. The Black Magic

can't be used as a still camera, but the GH3 can. The G6 is also reputed to be a good cinema camera. The G6 has focus peaking and in body stabilization.

For the budget conscious filmmaker, the Black Magic has a lot going for it.

2. The adaptor for the E Series lenses has been said to work well.
